Hi all ,

We are all very concerned about health and safety, esspecially our own.

We have invested in WFP , we use laader stops

I'm afraid accidents still happen.

I stumbled went over on my ankle and broke it.

With regard to another post maybe boots with good ankle support might have helped, but I still think some accidents will just happen no matter how much we try.

Work safe

Ray

Yes they do still happen.  I tripped over my own hosereel yesterday while I was poling a window.  I got lucky but do have a bruise on my leg.  Got soaked as well because the jets were pointing at me when we both landed.  Glad it was last job of the day.

in window cleaning you'll always have some sort of accidents because we rush to get the job done and do the same job throughout year so we get more confident.    8) 8)

life is full of accidents, lets all be carefull - it makes life better. improved safety is always good. if everyone used common sense then most accidents wouldnt happen. forethought is good thought - i think (seems good advice after a few whiskeys)
